The firm's practitioners have substantial experience in both jury and non-jury trials and appellate court proceedings. In addition, Woodley & McGillivary offers services in drafting and negotiating all forms of labor agreements, and drafting and promoting passage of legislation designed to protect worker rights and benefits.

Woodley & McGillivary is committed to client satisfaction, as evidenced by its successful practice that spans over a half-century. The firm's attorneys maintain continuous (and confidential) contact with our clients throughout the progression of a case, explaining their rights and the legal process not in terms that only lawyers understand, but in terms that the clients and their families can understand. Recognizing that meritorious claims should not go unremedied because of the level of a person's resources, Woodley & McGillivary handles cases through different forms of fee arrangements, including contingency fees, hourly fees and fixed fees.
